As soon as you ask someone to be dual agent, he/she can't be on your side only.

@Josephine ChI'm a dual citizen investing in both Canada and US, I moved to the US from Toronto about 10 years ago.I've helped countless Canadians get started on investing in US real estate from Canada.

Same goes for listed properties if you're licensed yourself or working with a dual-agency scenario.Finding Deals:Wholesalers: Build relationships with local wholesalers (Facebook groups, meetups, etc.)Direct to Seller: Cold calling, direct mail, SMS campaigns (using batchleads, REI Reply, etc.)Investor-Friendly Turnkey Provider companies: Many companies have their own exclusive off-market inventoryDriving for Dollars: Spotting distressed or vacant properties and reaching out directlyMarkets to Consider: If your current market is tight, look into Akron/Canton OH, Ocala FL, Birmingham, AL, Memphis, TN or San Antonio TX - great mix of price-to-rent ratios and investor activity.Always happy to chat more about markets, etc!

One way to navigate this is to just look for deals yourself and get the listing agent to be a dual agent on that transaction specifically.

I’m beginning my investment journey with a strategic focus on acquiring a primary residence that also generates income through house hacking—purchasing a multifamily or dual-use property to live in one unit and rent out the others.In addition to this primary investment, I am actively exploring low-risk, medium-return opportunities such as tax lien certificates, distressed properties, and other alternative real estate investments that offer long-term value and manageable risk.My goal is to build sustainable income, grow equity, and gain hands-on experience as I expand into a diversified real estate portfolio.

This approach is cost-efficient and eliminates the complexities of dual-state filings.

I’m also a dual U.S.

Dual physician households with student loans are more common than you think, and there are definitely mortgage options that factor that in.

We're a dual income, no kids household and the expense to keep the condo isn't that much for us.

I’m a dual citizen of the USA and Burkina Faso, and my real estate journey so far has spanned both continents.
